"So the server is technically working now. Already found a few problems though, some of them being minor: geodata, shadow weapons can drop/trade, some high c6 skills dont work, issues with clan system. However, I've been reassured that these are minor issues and can be fixed easily.

I dont have the account database connected to this webserver yet, so I wont wipe the userbase, and let you all create your own accounts yet... I will be making a few accounts to let users run around and test things. Please share? There isnt enough ram in the dev server to run the NPC server fully either, so everybody will have a builder level char to summon mobs and items.

This is not to be considered beta, open, nor closed. This is merely a preview. I should have some accounts available by friday."

I have given out about 10 accounts to people I know well and are helping me test all the systems out. Since we have started we have implimented fixes for quite a few things. Among them are skills, geodata, clan sytem, shadow weapons have been fixed, and drop data has been updated. These guys are working around the clock to find out what is missing.

Aerith still hasnt arrived, although i have picked out a data center to colo at, local to me in Las Vegas. Once it arrives and i get it set up and taken to the DC, I will have to get all the website/server functionality and integration hooked up again, shortly after that, we will enter beta and stress testing.
